Among all the glorious nerd holidays (May the Fourth, Alien Day, etc.) few are as exciting as Free Comic Book Day. FCBD is an annual promotional event sponsored by the comic book industry to attract readers to support their local independent comic book stores. Many brick and mortar stores have expanded celebrations to include giveaways, raffles, book signings, and more. It’s a great opportunity to not only pick up some free comics, but to enjoy your local shop and mingle with fellow comic book fans.
With 46 free comics and manga dropping tomorrow, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by what’s on offer. Let’s take a quick look at the issues we’re most looking forward to picking up.
